I live in the middle of England, we don't get much sun, if you happen to find a girl with her boobs out on a car it is likely she has just stumbled out of Yates and there is no chance Josh Beech is gonna randomly rock up (apart from that time he DID-true story) so here is some escapism for the winter months from LA photographer R J Shaughnessy.

Texan photographer Ignacio Torres now lives in New York city. His work explores youth, identity and scientific theories through the use of photography, animated gifs and video. His most recent work 'Stellar' is based around the idea that humans are made of cosmic matter as a result of a stars death.

These pictures are not digitally enhanced, instead Ignacio used dust and reflective confetti to create the impression of celestial galaxies.

Eeeeeeeeee, I've got some BIG love for the superstyling from Mile Supakasem in this fashion story for jewellery makers (L'ile aux Ashby). Featuring original designs by Rayson Tan, the photos are by Surachai Saengsuwan.

I'm clearing out my drafts after being away for a while (yet again) and came across this beauty. A stunner of a music video by London-based director/animator Abbie Stephens (this is her first music video!! OMFGHERTALENTMAKESMESICKINMYMOUTHWITHRAGE) So you now it wasn't a walk in the park the making of is below.

I haven't updated for ages because I have been a bit busy moving house and ting, but now have the perfect excuse to start again:

This Sunday the gorgeous people at Spinsters Emporium and MerriMaking are joining forces to host a fabulously fun and seriously creative night of competitive crafting. The Craft Off takes place from 7pm at The Malt Cross, Nottingham.

Ricardo Fumanal from Madrid, Spain has some obvious skills with a pencil. Taking inspiration from fashion magazines, he manages to re-create flawless skin, fabric and hair textures with the most subtle and controlled shading. The magazine covers are from a while ago, but he has recently updated his blog with more resplendent works and here they are.
